Curry with stewed beef gristle (Gyu-suji Nikomi Curry)/ ￥832

Stewed beef gristle is very soft and best matches with leek which makes this curry more fresh. There also is a devil's tongue/konjac in the curry roux, so you may enjoy its chewy texture mixing with rice. We recommend that you put "Fukujinzuke", the sliced vegetables pickled in soy sauce, on top of the curry which is set on each table. It is crispy and gives more flavor to the curry.
